[Pelvic vein varicosis--a treatable cause of chronic pelvic pain in women?].
Ovarian vein syndrome as a morphology basis of chronic pelvic pain has been discussed by means of four case reports. The much higher prevalence of venous insufficiencies in the female may be the reason for this disease. Occlusion of insufficient genital venous plexus, especially of the ovarian veins may be a possibility for treatment. But this does not meet all considerations, this disturbance of pelvic hemodynamic may be caused by misprocessing of emotional stress situations. Therefore a careful diagnostic procedure including psychodiagnostics should be play a central role.
